The danger of small things / Caryl Lewis.
"The whole world rested on a single bee's wings...until that last honeybee died, and the balance of the universe tipped. Now, famine and war rage across the land. People are no longer allowed to read or create art. They are forbidden to believe in the existence of love. Like every other girl, Jess has been taken from her home to live in a government dormitory, where they are forced to pollinate crops by hand with brushes. But unlike the others, Jess knows how to read and paint--and she knows that brushes aren't meant for pollinating. Jess is her mother's daughter, with a strong streak of rebellion that even the harshest punishment can't stamp out. She knows there is something horribly wrong with this system built on the hard labor of young girls, a system that forces them to marry and have children as soon as they are able. With smuggled paints and brush in hand, can Jess inspire a revolution?" -- Provided by publisher.
